NOBODY CARES

Nobody cares what he thinks,

Nobody cares what he does.

Nobody cares that he’s not in school.

Don’t you think it’s time to care?

Nobody says a thing to her,

Nobody hears her cry in the night.

Nobody answers her many questions.

Can’t at least one person learn to care?

Nobody cares a thing about you,

Nobody says a thing to you,

Nobody hears your cries in the night.

Isn’t it time you start to care?
